You're quite far from the center of the high pressure. Pressure was in the 1027-1038 mb range today in Paris/Nice. Looks like you were around 1010 mb this morning. Not really anticyclonic I'd say.
Btw -25°C 850 mb temps over Wisconsin. That's not something we would see here... And I assume that it's rare in New England as well.
Some high pressures will arrive in the Great Plains

CRITERIA FOR A HARD FREEZE IS 15 DEGREES OR COLDER...AND MOST OF CENTRAL ALABAMA WILL EXPERIENCE TEMPERATURES NEAR OR BELOW THIS THRESHOLD. CONFIDENCE IS HIGH ENOUGH TO GO AHEAD AND ISSUE A HARD FREEZE WARNING FOR ALL OF CENTRAL ALABAMA FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
WIND CHILL VALUES COULD DIP TO NEAR ZERO OR BELOW AFTER MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WIND CHILL ADVISORY CRITERIA IS ZERO DEGREES...SO AN ADVISORY MAY BE ISSUED IN LATER FORECASTS. TEMPERATURES WILL STRUGGLE TO RISE ABOVE FREEZING FOR NORTHERN COUNTIES ON THURSDAY.
AT LEAST THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF SUNSHINE ON THURSDAY TO PROVIDE SOME RELIEF FROM THE COLD TEMPERATURES.
THE AIR MASS IS TOO DRY BELOW 850MB FOR ANY PRECIPITATION.
The temp drops like a rock as soon as the sun sets, when the sea breeze abates and offshore wind picks up. It was already below 10°C/50°F at 8 pm at Nice airport! Brrr...
Also an extremely cold 0°C/32°F this morning at work. Yuck.
Both weather channel and weather underground have dropped our low Thursday morning to 18F, NWS is showing 21F. It might not get out of the 30s Thursday afternoon.
I'm surprised at myself to be writing this, but I'm actually enjoyed this cold weather. 16°F this afternoon with sun and light to no wind. If I was out for a long time I'd probably mind, but it was pretty out and not that uncomfortable. Happy we got some snow — very cold weather and bare ground looks wrong and is a waste. Other benefit is none of the snow melts, so it's dry instead of messy.
